Weather proof posters and banners

Whether you are going to an exhibition, holding an event or refurbishing a new building, banners are an effective and economical way to advertise to and inform your public.

There are numerous materials to consider, the most popular of which is PVC. If you have different requirements, mesh banners or foamex rigid banners make excellent alternatives.

Mesh banners
A mesh banner is a perfect outdoor graphic solution for scaffoldings and building wraps in windy conditions. The mesh is a strong, lightweight and tightly woven ; the advantage of mesh banners is that you no longer need to cut wind holes. Mesh is perfect for large exterior banners: heavy mesh material is flame retardant and resistant to tearing and it is directly printable using UV and solvent inks.

Foamex - Rigid PVC sign board
Foamex is a flexible material coming in various thicknesses such as 3mm, 5mm or 10mm and sizes up to 10 x 10 foot in one piece. Also called rigid PVC sign boards, foamex is a strong but lightweight material. It is a weatherproof material with a durability of a few years outdoors. Larger size foamex signs can be screwed or nailed to a surface while velcro can be used for smaller and lighter signs.
